INVITATION TO WRITE A PAPER FOR CHANCE MAGAZINE
As you may know, Chance magazine (an ASA publication) features a regular column called "Here's to your Health." The column publishes interesting statistical issues in health-related topics presented at a basic level.  Researchers are constantly being sought to write short papers for the column, and we would like to invite you to write a paper.  To provide a flavor of the types of articles that have recently been published, here are some column topics:

• Statistical issues in pharmacogenetics;
• A re-examination of the 1918 flu pandemic;
• Application of PET scanning to diagnosing mental illness.

If you would like more information or are interested in writing a paper for the column, please e-mail Mark Glickman at mg@bu.edu.
